Are you double jointed? If not, you must be a contortionist,  because you sure pat yourself on the back a lot. We'll fix up a special ribbon or something and present it to you for high participation. And all this band talk, well nevermind, yall are a suburb of QC.

Oh, so Hughes Springs beats Jeffy and you magically grow a spine? You haven't had jack to say till this week. That includes last year.

I'm just saying that the constant babble about us padding our numbers is ridiculous. We have 2 classes left from the 4A group. We're not forecasted to move back up for a long time. It just is what it is. Don't post about about numbers because we have a large number of kids in the band and on the football team, and expect me not to retort. I did say that it didn't mean we couldn't lose this week, or any other game. Not padding ourselves on the back, but I may be sensing jealousy. 

You don't want to read it, then don't post about it. Quit whining.

Heard half of them came from QC!

So we getting all these kids from QC but our numbers keep dropping? That makes so much sense. 🤷‍♂️

I don't mind banter. I am actually looking forward to it. It's been dead for like.. 3 weeks, and even then it was a bunch of PG fans 😂. But talking about skewed numbers because of said reasons is ridiculous. Talk about something meaningful and legit.

I'll start.

I was just told yesterday that #24 was a junior, is that correct? That kid was big last year, and he seems quite a bit larger this year 😂

I doubt Atlanta or any other did anything to skew their numbers.  Having character is the first thing you should look for in hiring educators.  If someone got caught doing something illegal it could draw a felony charge.  IMO. Just keep things legal and show character by not playing in the shade to gain an unfair advantage.  Clarksville needs a few transfers in. LOL

I agree. Talking about skewing numbers is about as left as it gets. Sounds just like politics today. Accuse accuse accuse but have zero valuable information.

I won't say we don't have kids move from QC. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The high schools are 3 miles from one another. All these kids have literally grown up playing ball together. All our leagues are intertwined here. In fact, they're all Atlanta leagues. Football is the only sport separated in little league, and kids are still back and forth.

Not hiding snapshot numbers. We have high student participation. That's what happens when you have a great band, and great football team. We had an excellent basketball and baseball team as well. 

People act like we haven't been in the picture before. We had small teams in 4A. Translates to big teams in 3A, if our numbers drop.

Everyone keeps pointing out the number of kids we have, and how we're a big 3A, but y'all weren't showing no sympathy when we were one of the smallest 4As. Might be because we were going 2-4 rounds deep in the playoffs and being competitive, instead of whining about the number of kids in our school.

Sounds harsh, but it is what it is. I'm not saying we'll win state, or we'll win this game, but what I am saying is, we have high athletic/band participation. Our band program is phenomenal. We had the largest band we've ever had last year. They are slightly smaller this year, but not much. We have a great band director. While we haven't won state, we have competed, and the kids absolutely love it. Might I add, they put on some amazing shows. Who wouldn't want to be a part of it? Our football team has been 4 rounds deep 3 times in the past 5 years. Only missed the playoffs twice since McClure has been here (I think). Who wouldn't want to play football?

Oh... We have great fans as well. We support the kids any way we can. That also helps. 

 

Did you just ramble on about your band and band director? Stop 🛑 just stop✋🏿

Well, it's obvious we've found out what Atlanta's sore subject is... 

 

Let me guess, y'all are gonna say "we hear it so much and were tired of it because it's not true and we're teaching character over here"

Then one sentence later you say you can't wait for the banter and ribbing because it's been pretty stagnant.

Y'all are soft, them talking about y'all padding your #s was banter, and y'all got up in ya feels about it...

Ma'am, I never said a word about your numbers. Other than piling on a little with others. Retort away, but ask your husband if he is ok with you "bantering" with men on a football board, it could get ugly Frances. Now what I pointed out was your constant desire to toot your own horn. Now, run along and write another 2000 word manifesto. We're all dying to read more of your bs.

It has been a good long while since Smoaky was last used as an outlet for useful and factual information?

Those days are past ... it's now about trying to get someone's panties in a wad ...

I still pop in occasionally to see if things have changed any ... or if it's still modeled after the present-day cable news media.

One post from each side can give all the factual information you need, what are we supposed to do the other 6 days 23 hours and 59 minutes???

Anything except talk about numbers. That is off limits. Alegshaver does not like that at all!

Just curious to the numbers of Hughes Springs.    We are still 25-30 kids shy of the snapshot number that was used 2 years ago.   I maybe a couple of kids off but our Jr class only has around 110.   Kinder 1st and 2nd grade all have around 150.  Our growth is not high school.  It’s lower levels. Atlanta has 1810 as of Friday.  I will say hughes springs is not too far off

I dont know the numbers but its alot of em. Parent pick up is a real pain. But we dont care about numbers. Or high participation in band yada yada. That was a guy from NB that first mentioned numbers.

That's hilarious 😂 but I thought Atlanta had turf??

We just got em settled down and you bring up the new turf again. Triggering more back patting. Like an old dog when ya scratch his belly and his leg starts going . The Rabbit fans the same way. I bet they got a lot of rotator injuries from all that patting theirselves on the back. Super high band participation though.

So in other words, you decided to call me out for "tooting my own horn" when I was retorting to someone talking about our numbers. Guilty by association. 

I appreciate your concern, but I've been on the board long enough to know how it works. I just find it ridiculous that nobody brought up numbers when we were a small 4A, but errrrbody wanna say something when we're a big 3A.

Also, I may have been inebriated when I may my posts yesterday, though they are truthful 😂.

Eat my manifesto.

Welcome back! I've missed my #1.

I mean, they did mention the size of the band. So I can't retort about it? Come on now.

I just think it's ridiculous is all. Talk about them all you want, I won't give a further response about it. I just think it's a double standard, and I wanted to voice my opinion about it.

LOL I mean, did I mention the band first, or did someone else? I'm just explaining why we have such a big band. Take it how you want to I suppose.

I got you. It was in response to him. They've been talking about that nonsense for a week on the app. Heard the same thing from Redwater.

Why don’t these schools with superior speed not go with the Slot T. They’d be unstoppable. 

All depends on the team that's playing them. Worst thing about Slot or Wing T is that a good D-line/LB core will completely shut them down. While there's lots of smoke and mirrors, good preparation goes a long ways.

Liberty Hill was a perfect example. They did make it to the state championship game last year, but they got dismantled by a big D-line. That game was never close.

Also, I think a big issue with those offenses is the lack of comeback ability. If you get down, for whatever reason, it's near impossible to recover, especially if you get down a couple of scores.

They are fun to watch though. Slot-T is my personal favorite. I love watching an offense that uses every single player. Even the QB is catching blocks.
